Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Cultivar, Crop, Agriculture and Botany. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Canopy and Oryza sativa. His Cultivar research is included under the broader classification of Horticulture.

His Crop study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climate change, Yield and Irrigation. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Biodiversity, Sustainability and Material flow. His Botany study deals with Biological system intersecting with Biological organisation.

His most cited work include:

  • Water- and Nitrogen-Use Efficiencies of Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Based on Whole-Canopy Measurements and Modeling. (150 citations)
  • Using combined measurements of gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence to estimate parameters of a biochemical C3 photosynthesis model: a critical appraisal and a new integrated approach applied to leaves in a wheat (Triticum aestivum) canopy (143 citations)
  • Functional-Structural Plant Modelling in Crop Production (116 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Crop, Cultivar, Horticulture and Agriculture. His studies link Canopy with Agronomy. His work on Cultivar is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Plant disease resistance.

His Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Botany and Solanaceae. His work in Agriculture is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Agroforestry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Electron transport chain and Biological system in addition to Photosynthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (39.84%)
  • Crop (16.67%)
  • Cultivar (16.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (39.84%)
  • Photosynthesis (7.52%)
  • Agriculture (12.80%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Paul C. Struik focuses on Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Agriculture, Horticulture and Crop. He studies Cultivar which is a part of Agronomy. His RuBisCO and Stomatal conductance study, which is part of a larger body of work in Photosynthesis, is frequently linked to C3 photosynthesis, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research in Agriculture intersects with topics in PEST analysis, Solanum tuberosum, Sustainability and Temporal scales. Paul C. Struik interconnects Acclimatization, Growing season and Sucrose in the investigation of issues within Horticulture. His Sowing research incorporates themes from Agroforestry and Yield.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Water- and Nitrogen-Use Efficiencies of Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Based on Whole-Canopy Measurements and Modeling. (150 citations)
  • Stomatal conductance, mesophyll conductance, and transpiration efficiency in relation to leaf anatomy in rice and wheat genotypes under drought. (65 citations)
  • High day- and night-time temperatures affect grain growth dynamics in contrasting rice genotypes. (46 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Paul C. Struik mostly deals with Agronomy, Photosynthesis, RuBisCO, Horticulture and Cultivar. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plant nutrition, Oryza, Oryza sativa, Grain growth and Transpiration. His Photosynthesis study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole.

He has researched RuBisCO in several fields, including Biophysics, Electron transport chain and Chlorophyll fluorescence. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Acclimatization, Pollen, Human fertilization and Sucrose. His biological study deals with issues like Crop, which deal with fields such as Nitrogen fertilizer and Yield.
